    Now that Suzie has gotten rid of her car the research has started. Known facts it needs to be an "S" and it will be a Cabrio. The rest will be decided during the next six months as we look while I'm on deployment

    Well, there is that. You are a brave man my friend, leaving your wife alone with the configurer while you are deployed, as the sheet she shows you might not be the one she gives the dealer. :lol:

    Exactly, use to work from Newport to Sweet Home and then Salem to Eugene area. I wanted the north west but did not want the snow of Montana.

    what??? com'on its not a "puddle jumper" :lol:
    I did flip a 150, over shot the tarmac on landing and stuck the gear in the mud...tail went over. Rather embarrassing. But it was a rental and I was covered.

    This SR-71 that Lourie is sitting in the Engine is the Famous Retired #972 :wink:
    Aside from the speed records it holds there are things that this specific Plane did that are still classified today.

    Long story (which I have already told elsewhere on this site), but I actually climbed all over an SR-71 back in 1969 while it still had a Top Secret classification. Wrong place, at the right time and that really is one bad a** airplane. :Thumbsup:
